Foreign Policy 15:50 21.06.2025

The Azerbaijan-Uzbekistan Investment Company (AUIC), a joint financial initiative between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Republic of Uzbekistan, has announced that it is currently financing projects with a total value exceeding $360 million. The company, which was established to promote bilateral investment and industrial cooperation, is playing a critical role in strengthening economic ties between the two strategic partners in Central Asia and the South Caucasus.

Expanding Economic Partnership
The investment portfolio of the AUIC covers a wide range of sectors including industry, agriculture, logistics, infrastructure, pharmaceuticals, and information technologies. According to company representatives, several of these projects are already under implementation, while others are in the final stages of approval and planning.

The AUIC’s financing activities reflect a shared commitment by both governments to deepen economic integration, increase mutual trade, and promote joint production for export to third markets.

“We are not just financing businesses—we are shaping the economic future of two nations through smart, scalable, and sustainable investment,” said one senior official involved in the project.
 
Flagship Projects in Focus
Among the most notable projects supported by the Azerbaijan-Uzbekistan Investment Company are:

A logistics hub and distribution center in Uzbekistan for Central Asian and Caucasian trade flow.
Agricultural modernization projects in both countries, including joint agritech R&D initiatives.
Manufacturing plants producing construction materials, household goods, and machinery for regional export.
Pharmaceutical collaboration, including a potential joint venture in vaccine production.
The company has also expressed readiness to explore green energy projects, in line with both countries’ growing focus on renewables and decarbonization.


Strategic Cooperation at the State Level
The AUIC is the product of a strategic agreement signed during the high-level intergovernmental meetings between the leadership of Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan. Both countries see the company as a model for regional partnership and economic self-sufficiency, particularly as global supply chains shift and new geopolitical realities reshape Eurasian trade routes.

Bilateral relations have warmed considerably in recent years, with increased diplomatic engagement, cultural exchange, and trade turnover. The investment company is expected to serve as a platform not only for economic development but also for broader regional integration in energy, transit, and digital infrastructure.

Conclusion
The Azerbaijan-Uzbekistan Investment Company’s $360 million in financed projects highlights the dynamic and rapidly evolving partnership between two key states in the Eurasian region. By fostering joint ventures and long-term economic collaboration, Baku and Tashkent are building a foundation for shared prosperity, innovation, and regional stability.
